how do you get .com?

[tenchi86]

Ok I am not talking about pay some compay to give you a .com and some room on a server. I was wondering how a home user would get a .com site. Do you just set up a server and make that its adress or something? I was just wondering because since their are lal these sites that charge for a .com I know it must be possible to make your own, atleast I would think.

You set up a server and buy a domain. Doesn't cost anything more than the price of the domain.

go on google and type in .cjb.net ...its free, but its not .com. Nice thing is, it works with DNS server, geocities sites.....like mine, www.madskillzvideo.cjb.net (not tyring to advertise) im no web designer...but thats what alotta us guys do around here

You have to register your .com with a Domain Register.

I pay 20 dollars a year for my domain name. and 65 dollars a year for my host, who gives me unlimited band width, multiple mySQL DB's and php/ perl suport
